SUMMARY:Naomi Wachira and Lara Herscovitch
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nEast meets West coast in a terrific co-bill of two of the best emerging artist new-folk singer-songwriters. Join Naomi Wachira and Lara Herscovitch at an acoustic show to support these two artists and Naomi’s new album Song of Lament. \nSeattle singer-songwriter Naomi Wachira was born in Kenya and grew up singing gospel music in a choir of family and friends. Inspired by the music of Tracy Chapman and Miriam Makeba\, Wachira saw the potential for song to make the world a better place and set out to create music that is “poignant\, hopeful and life-giving.” Since her arrival on the Northwest music scene\, she has received numerous accolades\, including being named “Best Folk Artist” by Seattle Weekly\, and has cultivated a growing base of enthusiastic fans. She has released three recordings to date–“African Girl” (2012)\, “Naomi Wachira” (2014) and “I am Because You Are” (2015)–and her fourth album “Song of Lament” is scheduled for release in June 2017.\n“Pure musical poetry” (The Courier)\, Lara Herscovitch’s music is an original blend of modern folk with blues\, jazz & pop influences. With a voice “clear and smooth like expensive liquor” (Northeast Performer)\, she is “A rising talent who is truly someone to watch for” (Acoustic Live in NYC). Her music is “expertly written prose\, songwriting at its best; good for your ears AND your soul” (Sound Waves). Former Connecticut State Troubadour\, Lara brings a charm\, authenticity\, and love of performing that resonates with diverse audiences. She has appeared as a guest on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor and tours from Maine to Miami. She also has extensive experience as a policy social worker\, and has worked in the US\, Latin America and Asia – focusing on education\, community development\, and juvenile justice. Echoes of these themes resonate throughout her music: “Singer-songwriter Lara Herscovitch doesn’t write songs just for the ears\, but also for the heart and soul.” (Daily Journal\, Tupelo MS). \nNaomi’s social media: \nwww.facebook.com/imanafricangirl \nwww.twitter.com/imanafricangirl \nLara’s social media: \nwww.LaraHerscovitch.com \nTwitter – @laraherscovitch \nSpecial give away will happen this night for a pair of three day camping passes to the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in Hillsdale\, NY.
